James Norton will join Ellen Page in the Flatliners remake

James Norton (War & Peace, Rush) is joining Ellen Page, Diego Luna and Nina Dobrev in the Flatliners remake.

For those of you who are not aware of the original, it was a 1990 film that starred Julia Roberts, Kiefer Sutherland and Kevin Bacon. They played a group of medical students killing themselves in controlled conditions and then bringing themselves back. However, they brought things back with them.

Definitely ripe for a remake, although last years The Lazarus Effect trod similar ground, and they are getting some great actors involved.

Neils Arden Oplev (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) will direct the project for Sony from a screenplay by Ben Ripley. Michael Douglas and Laurence Mark are set to produce.
